Nope. If there were we could complain about it. All we have now is many different implementations. The most commonly used ones are Java, ICU, glibc and Windows. AIUI all except Windows understand the xx_XX format. Java and ICU are essentially the same. I found a note that both Perl6 and PHP6 may use ICU. That would be an interesting change.
